Background Antimicrobial resistance is a public health threat. Because antimicrobial
consumption in food-producing animals contributes to the problem, policies restricting the …

The usage of antibiotics in animal husbandry has promoted the development and
abundance of antibiotic resistance in farm environments. Manure has become a reservoir of …

The role of food‐producing environments in the emergence and spread of antimicrobial
resistance (AMR) in EU plant‐based food production, terrestrial animals (poultry, cattle and …

Investigations into the suspected airborne transmission of pathogens in healthcare
environments have posed a challenge to researchers for more than a century. With each …

This chapter focuses on acquired resistance mechanisms in bacterial pathogens of human
and animal origin, including examples of transfer of resistant pathogens between hosts and …

The world is enveloped in a global health emergency that is exacting enormous medical and
economic tolls upon humanity. The SARS-CoV-2 that has caused the current COVID-19 …

The transmission of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) between food‐producing animals
(poultry, cattle and pigs) during short journeys (< 8 h) and long journeys (> 8 h) directed to …

Many emerging infectious diseases in human populations are associated with zoonotic
origins. Attention has often focused on wild animal reservoirs, but most zoonotic pathogens …

It has been argued that intensive livestock farming increases the risk of pandemics of
zoonotic origin because of long-distance livestock movements, high livestock densities, poor …

The reliable detection of airborne biological threat agents depends on several factors,
including the performance criteria of the detector and its operational environment. One step …
